GDT: R2G3 | Dallas Stars @ Colorado Avalanche | 10pm ET 8pm MT | Series tied 1-1

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Georgiev showed up, no one else did. This team just can’t beat Dallas.

Girard certainly showed up.

Georgiev showed up, no one else did. This team just can’t beat Dallas.

He sure didn't show up for their first goal. Basically in his chest and he lets that shit in.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Game felt over when the Avs scored and were carrying the play. Then Dallas gets one odd man rush, which has Colorado had one this series?, and scores.

Just took over from that point and never let up.

 

[chet1926]

It's pretty simple Dallas simply wants it more than us. They out everythinged us tonight. The team that worked harder won.

Season is pretty much over at this point because they can't match Dallas and their work ethic. They want it, we don't. End of discussion.

is Bednar a good coach or was he just gifted a really good 2022 team? DeBoer just kicks this pricks ass, ready to move on from Bednar and Rants

 

[The Shermanator]

We really should be down 0-3 right now and about to get swept lol

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Bednar better come out with a better strategy than the Russian WWII tactic of feeding guys into the meat grinder

 

[Moosehead1]

Looks like the boys forgot they have to work to win. Embarrassing

 

[NikB]

We are 5 goals away from being 0-6 against DeBoer in the playoffs the last 6 years, 1 in G7 OT against Dallas in 2020, two against Seattle in G7 last year, and a VGK tying goal+OT win against NSH in January 2022 matches us against VGK in the first round.

He doesn’t seem to be able to implement any strategical adjustments in game

He was absolutely gifted a team. Bednar doesn't do shit during a game. No in game adjustments ever. He runs a good system, but can't counter anything.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

They are who they said they were, A balanced, well coached, team focused hockey organization.

AKA boring. Unfortunately, when done right, boring wins.

 

[nammerus]

Call me crazy, but I still believe.

Stars played a great 3rd, but the Avs are beating themselves here, just need to execute better.

Getting Drouin back would do wonders for this team.

Going down 3-0/4-0 and getting absoluteLy dominated at home in the 3rd period respectively in all 3 games. Definitely nothing to do with how Dallas is playing.

 

[Avs_19]

Terrible third all around. Win any way you can so credit to the Stars. It’s on the Avs to make them pay for sitting back and playing like cowards. It’s awful but also just smart hockey by them.

Far too many negatives on the Avs to point out. 29 and 96 taking all the arrows while 8 has also been a ghost. Top players get all the credit so they deserve blame too. All of them.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Im gonna look on the bright side....... take the loss now because there's no way the Avs are going to beat the NYR, or the Florida Panthers in a SCF.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It’s pathetic that three games into a series and you haven’t led at all

 

[The Kingslayer]

Girard was the Avs best player. No offense to Sam but if thats the case you lose every game.

 

[JudoKoala]

Need to win 3 in a row now. Brutal.

?

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I think Mack wants this

Why would you say this?

 

[AvsWraith]

Bednar is DeBoner's prison bitch.

Stars are not giving up any odd-man rushes. They're sitting back, weathering the storm, and cashing out when the Avs make a mistake.

 

[twostroke2023]

I’m disgusted honestly. No emotion. No getting in scuffles after the whistle. Trying the figure skate through the trap. They should be absolutely embarrassed with themselves. I’d be pissed if I payed to be at that game.

Bednar needs to figure this the f*** out too. I get the Avs need to execute, but this is a systematic issue. If they’re not playing the way you want f***ing bench guys.

 

[the_fan]

In the end, this was just a one goal difference. Dallas found a way to get that one more goal on a nice play, and Avs couldn’t because Stars just shut it down defensively. We came close few times specially Nuke.

 

[RECKLESS]

Kudos Dallas.

Both teams looked gassed by altitude and it took us away more. Plus Mikko's head is a bit higher than the rest. Girard's lower. Explains alot.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Girard was the Avs best player. No offense to Sam but if thats the case you lose every game.

He was the only one who attempted to drive the net in the the third period. That is, umm, not a great sign.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Scoring the first goal would go a f***ing long way as well.


Literally haven't held a lead at any point yet this series. Making it easy for Dallas to play the way they want to instead of forcing them to have to adjust themselves.
